The third education fair being held in the capital Dhaka on July 29-30 and in Chittagong on Aug 1-2, is being organized by SAPE Events and Media Pvt Limited, a leading educational fair organizer in the region, with the support of the high commission.
The Indian high commissioner in Dhaka has said education remains a “high priority” area of India’s efforts to be a close partner in Bangladesh’s development.
Harsh Vardhan Shringla said on Friday Bangladesh was making rapid strides towards its goal of developing into a modern economy and India is committed to being a close partner in this endeavour and progress.
“Education remains a high priority area in this regard,” he said in a message on the opening of the third Indian education fair in Dhaka.
Over 30 educational institutions, including schools, colleges and technical institutes across India, are participating in the Dhaka event at the Daily Star Centre in Farmgate.
The high commissioner visited all the stalls and later told journalists that education was the “most important area” of people-to-people contact between India and Bangladesh.
“It is good thing if there is movement of students,” Shringla observed.
Indian government offers 5OO ITEC scholarships and over 2OO ICC scholarships for Bangladeshi students and professionals every year.
The envoy highlighted India’s resolve to work together with Bangladesh in the education sector and hoped that the fair would help to raise awareness about the possibilities of education in India.
He also hoped that this would serve as a platform to bring the youth of India and Bangladesh closer to each other through high quality professional educational opportunities.
Organisers say apart from bringing students and the best of educational institutions under one roof, the fair also helps the aspirants and the guardians to have detailed discussions about the facilities and fee structures along with expert guidance on available choices.
It also facilitates an easy comparison to make an informed decision, best suited as per individual needs.
Apart from free entry and free counseling at the education fair, the students would also be able to avail free career aptitude test.
The students could also use this platform to get scholarships and on-the-spot admission.
